A competence-based curriculum for vocational training in general practice in Germany: nearby or far away?

摘要

In contrast to the developments in many European countries, no competency-based curriculum frame such as CanMEDS or EURACT exists in Germany. Vocational training in Germany is based on "volume" and "time". As Germany is a competency-based curriculum "naive" country, we aimed to question German vocational trainees what competencies they believe they will need working as a future GP and how they believe they will learn these.
